None documented yet.
Affiliation means documented membership or endorsement, backed by a dated source. Agreeing on policy is not affiliation, and membership never fills in a candidate's positions. Constituency caucuses represent communities, not ideologies, so their membership isn't a policy position. If no relationship is shown, none has been documented yet. That doesn't prove there is none.
